Okay so after being messed about for the past few weeks the doctors confirmed today i had a mc:( the nurse suggesed leaving it 6 mnths before retrying because this is our second misscarriage in 4 months. My partner says he wants to try again as soon as i stop bleedin but im not sure how long to wait ? Is ttc straight a way too quick or shud we give it a go ?

Hello Mummy, I'm so sorry to hear your news - I hoped you wouldn't be back on this forum with a continuation of that story Sad. Hope you're bearing up ok. It's an awful thing to go through - I've had one and that broke me quite enough. Don't be afraid to take time of work and let yourself be unhappy - far better than bottling it up.

Re ttc again, I think the nurse is possibly right... Give your body time to get back in sync again and recover. MCs are traumatic for mind as well as body, and something is clearly going wrong if you've had two so close together, and your body won't be getting any stronger while it goes through this again. Do you know why you MC-ed? I mean, if it was a chromosomal thing, or similar, at least you know your body wasn't to 'blame' (horrible term, I'm sorry, but I hope you know what I mean) and perhaps you could try a bit sooner, but if it was that your uterine lining was too thin to support the foetus or your progesterone levels too low or something like that, I'd be more inclined to give your body a rest. You certainly don't want to go through this again.

Why don't you give it a month or two till you feel better physically and emotionally? Then, try and get as fit and healthy as you can: improve diet, reduce bad habits like caffeine, exercise more, sleep more, take pre-natal vits, maybe see a fertility accupuncturist or similar... Try and get your body in the best possible place to sustain a pg.

Take care Flowers - my thoughts are with you.

My GP said at least one full cycle, MW and various other HCPs have asked me if I had two periods between MC and getting pg. Give your body some time to recover xx

You're potentially fertile once the bleeding has stopped, and you should ovulate before your first proper period. They like you to wait for dating the pregnancy mainly. I've had a mmc and am waiting for an erpc as there's no signs of it starting by itself any time soon and I fully intend to start trying again asap. However if you don't feel mentally ready then don't. Do it when it's right for you. Best wishes.

So sorry to hear this. I had a mc in June and was told to give it one full cycle (which I utterly ignored), but there may be a good reason to give it longer for you (or there might not).

I've gone hell for leather for vitamins and iron and so on as a way of kidding myself I'm in some sort of control over my body (huh!), but it might help to think of the short break as a brief period to get your body in kick ass fitness for the next baby. Good luck x x x
